A.N. Now for the second question. And then the Relic of Knowledge is...
Chapter 89 - Goodbye Jinn
Now that they understood how to kill Salem, it was obvious what their next question should be. This time, it was Rudy's turn to ask. Stepping towards Jinn, he spoke clearly.
"What actions must we take in order to destroy all four Relics?"
This was a loaded question. Just asking for the location of the Maidens or Relics alone wasn't enough. Wording the question like this not only tells them where the Relics and Maidens are but also how to make the Maidens either help or work with them in order to destroy the Relics.
The exact words said is extremely important. When Rudy first practiced his question, he had said "I" instead of "we". This mistake would have made the question either impossible to answer, or almost impossible to accomplish. After all, there are limits to how much one person can accomplish by himself.
"I assume that by 'we' you mean those of your companions you trust?"
"Yes."
"Very well."
Knowledge seeped into Rudy's mind, and suddenly he had the current locations of where each Relic and Maiden were. The Atlas Relic and Winter Maiden he already knew, so that didn't change anything. The current Fall Maiden was Amber and the Relic was... huh? And for the last Maiden and Relic... well, he didn't want to spoil the unfinished volumes of RWBY.
"Wow, I got them all."
"Very well, I believe it is time to take my leave."
As Jinn started to fade, Rudy had thought and hurriedly turned to her.
"Wait! If our plan succeeds, what will happen to you?"
Rudy knew that she wasn't human and that there was some strange form of afterlife since Ozma was able to come back due to the Gods. Still, there's no guarantee that Jinn would continue to exist if her Relic is destroyed.
Jinn gave a sad smile and replied in a teasing tone.
"Sorry, hun. You used up all your questions. Too late to ask now."
And with those final words, Jinn disappeared.
